Amazon Planning To Add 2,100 More Indiana Jobs

The online retailer Amazon is looking to hire more than 2,000 Hoosiers for full-time jobs in its warehouses. Amazon spokeswoman Nina Lindsey says the company will host job fairs across the state to find candidates.

"We’re looking for candidates that are 18 year of age or older, have a high school degree or equivalent, and for many of these job fairs that we’re hosting throughout the area, they just need to bring a proof of education and a form of identification," Lindsey says.

Lindsey says the company will hire 1,400 new employees in Indianapolis, Plainfield, and Whitetown, and 700 employees in Jeffersonville.
